Justin Bieber Appeared Late for Concert... Weeping Fans Left Before Show

Furious Justin Bieber fans today demanded a refund after the star was two hours late on stage - forcing many to leave his show early in tears and others to sleep rough after missing trains home.

Angry parents told how their children - as young as eight - sobbed after they failed to see the full show because they had to leave or face the prospect of being stranded at the O2.

Bieber was meant to take to the stage at 8.30pm after his support acts Jaden Smith, Cody Simpson and Carly Rae Jespen had finished but did not appear until almost two hours later at 10.22pm.

It meant there were was loud booing from the 20,000 audience - some who had been queuing since 6.30pm - as they had to watch an empty stage for more than an hour while the organisers played Michael Jackson songs.

John Lush, 48. an advertising manager, who took his daughter 10-year-old daughter Amelie Lush and her friend Ellie Compton, said they were only able to stay for one song before they had to leave to catch the train home to Bromley, Kent.

He said: “I am absolutely livid. I don’t think a refund would compensate the emotional damage he has done to my children. Giving money to a 10-year-old who couldn’t see their hero is not enough, not when they have school the next day. The girls were so angry and upset at Bieber by time they left.”

Parents who paid as much as £68 a ticket to take their children to see their pop icon branded Bieber’s disregard for his young fans as “disgusting”.

Michelle Christianson, from Oxford, brought her 12-year-old daughter Enya, who was in tears after being forced to leave early to make it home.

She said: “We have seen little kids leaving before the thing even started. It’s just terrible to leave early having spent so much money.”
